‘A’ walks: start North, then left, left again, then right, again right, and once more left. After this sequence, which direction is ‘A’ walking?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: West

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:This is a pure orientation trace with multiple relative turns, starting from North.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Start facing North.
  • Sequence: Left → Left → Right → Right → Left.

Concept / Approach:Apply the turns stepwise to the current facing and record the result after each.

Step-by-Step Solution:North → Left = West.West → Left = South.South → Right = West.West → Right = North.North → Left = West.Final facing = West.

Verification / Alternative check:Combine pairs: Left+Left from North is a 180° to South; Right+Right from South returns to North; one more Left yields West.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:East/South/South-East do not match the final West orientation.

Common Pitfalls:Losing track mid-sequence; writing down each intermediate helps.

Final Answer:West
